There is a series called Deep Love which is really unique, heartbreaking and breathtaking. First time I read it I cried like an idiot... It is based on a novel by Yoshii. I'll write it down with the order I read it -I think it's the best one-:

Meeting and parting with kind people, experiencing brutal treatment from unjust people. Pao, who learned to live within the harshness of reality, awaits even more ordeals...

In general I'm not really into shoujo manga (although I've read plenty) , yet this is something else. It's not just another love story between a girl and a boy, they can't communicate, then a third person intrudes blah blah blah... It's something more, more real, deeper. As the title says, it's about Deep Love. I hope you enjoy it.

Well, I checked the genre at baka updates before posting it here and it said Shoujo except for Deep Love-Pao no Monogatari which said josei. Personally I think it's more josei than shoujo, but since it said shoujo I posted it here.

If it's more Josei than Shoujo and you feel so, it'd be better to post it in the other genres thread.

It's a really good manga. Even though it's sad, I think there's a ray of hope as well as conclusions that are more down to earth and realistic. I decided to put it here cause it was categorized as shoujo. My personal belief maybe it's wrong, so I kinda followed what the site said.

Definitely read it, you're so gonna love it.
